10- 20- 30 to Impressive Results

If you want to get fitter, faster or slimmer, then interval
training is the way to go: There is no right or wrong way to do interval
training.Almost any formula of high
intensity intervals alternating with intervals of low intensity will increase
your fitness level in a shorter amount of time than steady state training.(See post: http://wellerbodiespersonaltraining.blogspot.com/2012/06/beware-hiit.html
for more on high intensity training). One easy to follow formula is the
10-20-30 plan.You can do this with any
type of aerobic training.

Go as fast as you can for 10 seconds, (sprint, walk or pedal
your hardest), decrease to a moderate speed for 20 seconds, then maintain an
easy pace for 30 seconds.Do this for about
5 minutes, rest with a very easy pace for 2 minutes, and then repeat 3-4 more
times.Cool down and you are done!

Try this 2-3 times a week (but not 2 days in a row), and you will see
your speed and fitness level increase while your workout time decreases.
